About Blood Relatives

There are many reasons family members clash: money, jealousy, anger, resentment. But these reasons don’t usually provoke murder. In Blood Relatives, they do. This show focuses on murder cases in which family members kill other their relatives, due to affairs, money, child custody issues, and other motives.

Each episode begins with the tranquil and loving life of the family, then describes key problems that arose within it, the murder, the motives of various family members, and how the killer was finally caught.

Narrated by actress Brenda Strong, the show also features lots of re-creations and descriptions of events by family members, neighbors, friends, and detectives. There is some overlap of cases with shows like Dateline, 48 Hours, and Snapped.
